What runners highlight
“Always enjoyed the Drake Relays at the classic Drake Stadium on the Drake University campus when my daughter competed during her college years.”
From the reviews
…Friendly staff and vendor options for track & field, football & soccer competitions. Always loved the drumming core too. Thanks for the memories.
We came here for the 2018 Junior Olympics and the stadium was easy to locate, the blue track was pleasant to the eyes, it has several entrances/exits, and everyone we encountered were friendly.
…Lovely Ambiance for sporting events especially track and baseball. Unfortunately there are no covers on all seating areas so you'll be at a high risk of sun burn. (Get umbrellas, sun glasses, and sunscreen)
…We were there for high school state track & field. Lots of vendor options everywhere. The place was not overly crowded, so it wasn't too difficult to get around. The seating was in good condition and the track appeared to be in good condition. A generally good experience for our family.
